Cooperation with ChessboArt
ChessboArt is more than just a small carpentry workshop; it's an artisan atelier in Central Europe with a global vision. We create world-class, uncompromising chess sets—that was the idea from day one. Our signature vertical wall-mounted chessboards combine craftsmanship and modern design. Our passion for quality has already been recognized, with our work featured in film sets, exhibitions, palaces, and prestigious events like the Global Chess Festival and the Grand Chess Tour.
Our products have reached customers across Europe and the Americas, and our clocks have shipped worldwide. This is a fantastic foundation, but we want to take the next step. Our ambition is to become a globally recognized brand that never becomes a factory. To achieve this, we are looking for partners who share our vision and want to grow with us.
We are open to three main areas of cooperation.
1. Distribution & Retail Partners
We’re seeking selected strategic partners and retail stores (both online and physical) in key regions around the world, including North & South America, Asia, the Middle East, and specific countries within Europe.
Why Partner with ChessboArt?
- Fast, Local Shipping for Your Customers: We want our clients worldwide to have a seamless and fast delivery experience. Your local presence would replace our current model of handling individual intercontinental shipments. This is crucial, as many of our sets are purchased as gifts where time is of the essence.
- A Unique Showpiece for Your Store: If you run a physical shop, our hanging chess sets are a spectacular, eye-catching element of decor. They are conversation starters that naturally draw people in (as proven at major chess events). Explore our vertical chessboards collection.
At this stage, we are not looking for many partners. We are looking for the right partners to build the brand with for the next stage. The scope of our partnership and exclusivity are open for discussion.
2. A Platform for Creators & Artists
From the very beginning, ChessboArt was meant to be more than just my (Michał Fudaleja's) personal work. The vision has always been to create a platform for truly exceptional chess-related items—gathering valuable objects and genuine art under a brand that guarantees quality.
Who are we looking for?
Do you create something unique and "chess-themed" that is truly great? We are interested in:
- Paintings, graphics, or photos
- Posters and art prints
- Apparel, gadgets, or jewelry
- Other unique, high-quality chess sets
Get in touch, present your idea, and I will gladly talk with you. I am happy to review your work and products, fully aware that taste is subjective. Perhaps we can work together to photograph it, describe it, and feature it on our platform. (You can also read more in our guide to wall-mounted chessboards.)
3. Barter Cooperation: Chess Sets for Services
We know this model can work. We offer our unique chess sets in exchange for your services. While we may not have an excess of financial resources at the moment, we know our chess sets are highly desirable and hold real value.
Frankly, if as the owner of ChessboArt I have to pay for advertising, I would rather pay for it with our chess sets.
How can this work?
It’s a flexible, trust-based arrangement — we’re open to creative ideas. The value of the exchange depends on our mutual agreement. Examples could include:
- Discounts for chess clubs or their members in exchange for referrals.
- Promotional features on your website or social media channels.
- Links and visibility on a club or partner website.
Do You Have Another Idea? Let's Talk.
If you have a different idea for cooperation or just want to discuss the possibilities, don't hesitate to reach out. We'll set up a call.
